The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, let’s talk in feet and freedom units now.
The first week is a slow burner for Tarnos. Nothing to get excited about until Monday September 14th. That morning we see 4ft of NW swell, 11-second period, glassy wind from the east. The water is 73°, way warmer than usual. The energy is moderate. The afternoon gets wrecked by a cross-onshore breeze.
Tuesday and Wednesday are mostly small and ugly. Skip ’em.
Thursday September 17th morning is your first proper window: 6ft of NW swell, glassy again, energy reading 663. Clean conditions.
Friday September 18th afternoon sees a weird one – 3ft swell but with a 15-second groundswell period. Solid energy at 817, but the breeze is a bit cross-onshore.
Saturday September 19th morning is the king. 7ft of NW groundswell, 13-second period. The energy is strong at 1468. Offshore wind from the east, clean faces. This is for experienced surfers only – too big for learners.
Sunday 20th morning is a nice leftover: 5ft, 11 seconds, glassy. Another good one.
Monday 21st morning: 4ft of 14-second groundswell, dead calm. Glass-off perfection.
Tuesday 22nd morning keeps it going with 5ft, 12 seconds, glassy offshore.
Then the swell fades. Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th are tiny. Not worth it.
Friday 25th morning brings a little clean-up set: 3ft, 15-second period, glassy. Small but will have some punch.
Best bet? Sunrise sessions from Thursday 17th through Tuesday 22nd. The undoubted highlight is Saturday 19th morning. Expect some company, especially on the good days.
